Denis Villeneuve is perhaps my favorite director working today and I am a sadist who enjoyed the old Lynch take on DUNE, so I remain bummed that I didn’t like this. An absolutely gorgeous movie which is devoid of soul or plot and hamstrung by a monotonous lead performance. Just dreadfully dull whenever there wasn’t a Harkonnen on-screen. Instead of emotions or an ending, they just had Hans Zimmer on the keys doing generic electro-swoons when we’re supposed to feel something. An incredible non-ending even when judged against other “Part I” movies.
